Dear Colleague(s),
Warm greetings!
The Philippine Association of Academic/Research Librarians, Inc. (PAARL) will be holding
a three-day National Summer Conference 2015 with the theme,“Transcending Roles
of Information Professionals: Going Beyond Concepts, Exceeding Expectations.” This
professional activity will be held at De Luxe Hotel, Capt. Vicente Roa Street, Cagayan
De Oro City on April 22-24, 2015.
Libraries and information centers in the country are now challenged with the rapidly
changing technologies, the advancing methodologies in researches, the continuously
increasing volumes of digital information, and the growing diversified information needs
and behavior of students and researchers, all in the midst of the era of digital
information. Librarians and information professionals must do something to move
alongside with these constantly developing phenomena, thus the need to transcend from
the traditional roles of information professionals.
Librarians, library administrators, researchers, faculty and students of LIS are invited to
participate in this conference. The conference specifically evolves on the following
objectives:
a. To provide a deep understanding on the new and unconventional concepts in
librarianship as results of continuously changing needs in academic and
research environments;
b. To introduce and foster emerging roles of librarians with 21st
century skills
in the areas of academic research; information and digital literacy;
information technology; and
c. To present several options of transcended roles of information
professionals to keep astride with the new concepts in librarianship and to
exceed traditional expectations.
A CHED memo endorsement is being applied for this conference.
